No charges filed after police shot an 11-year-old who called for help, officials say

A grand jury in Mississippi determined that there was no criminal conduct on behalf of the officer who shot and wounded an 11-year-old boy in his home who had called authorities for help.

Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch says her office will take no further action against Sgt. Greg Capers, the officer who shot Aderrien Murry.

Nakala Murry said she told her son to call the police after the father of one of her other children came to their home in the early hours of May 20 in an “irate” mood.

After arriving at the Murry family home, police instructed everyone inside to come out with their hands up. Nakala Murry says that’s when the 11-year-old emerged from around a corner, running toward the door. [Sgt. Greg] Capers then opened fire, according to the family.
